Ever since I was little, I never had a problem with voicing my opinion. If you ask me about the kinds of things I believe in, I'll proudly respond. I've never been afraid to stand up for what I believe in. However, I always worry about the possibility that I might have to go against my beliefs in order to get what I want. Confusing?
Okay, I basically don't want to be one of those people who has to shut up and stay silent about the issues they believe in. There are all kinds of different ways a person can be forced to keep their opinions to themselves. Some people are threatened, others are bribed, and some are even converted to the other group's opinion.
Personally, I have never been threatened, bribed, or converted by someone else. I have never faced a situation where I felt like I should keep my opinion to myself. Even though some people have tried to argue with what I believe, I have never faltered or given into them. Is this stubborn? I don't think so. I find me holding my beliefs and my standards to be brave.
Nowadays, there are certain opinions I make where I actually have to fight for my rights. I don't think anyone should be told what they believe in is wrong, unless what they believe in is corrupted and harmful to others. I don't think it is right for someone to call someone else "stupid" or "nearsighted" just because they don't agree with you. I think it's better for you to state your beliefs and standards despite what anyone else thinks. I just hope no one ever tries to get in my way.
